Experiencing the Storm in Lucea

• 🏨 The women are now riding out the hurricane from their hotel rooms at the resort.
• 💨 The sound of the wind is intense, described as doors banging and sounding like someone is trying to force their way in.
• 🏚️ Some friends on other parts of the resort have reported seeing shingles falling and tiles flying, along with debris and trees falling.
• 😔 The situation is disheartening, especially since they felt they had ample time to leave before the storm hit.
